Milking The Moon For Conversions

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. –William Shakespeare

Conversions come from Credits that you earn in so many easy ways in 21stCentrurySurf. You really do not have to milk the moon for conversions when the solution to these problems is so easy.

EASY? Yes! The problem is …

  •     hit and miss surfing
  •     no consistency in numbers
  •     poor advertising
  •     lack of advertising
  •     Do not understand progressive surfing
  •     Do not take advantage of Powa-Surf

Some of the more active members have learned that 50 sites clicked per day is getting them both banner and text impressions added to their accounts.

Progressive happens for these people who surf daily.  Eventually your progressive search might match mine.  This is what I have earned by surfing daily …  warriorlady credited 1.692 credit(s)! That’s per click!

If I miss a day, I go back to the start. Each membership level has a starting point that builds according to your surf consistency.

Now a bit of an aid here can be Powa-surfing. When it is on, your normal surf ratios virtually double. By the end of a session, you can build up a nice stash of credits.  The next day when you start to surf, your credit awards will be higher but NOT the total you earned during powa-surf.

On the credit bar, you will see different words that if you earn each letter while surfing , earns you more credits. P R O M O N E Y  is currently on mine.

One more surfing bonus is paid out behind the scenes. Depending on the amount of credits you surf, you can be chosen to receive banner and text impressions and if you surf enough, you will see your credit totals go up.

Five times per week, on a daily basis, the surf totals of the day before are gathered and the winners chosen.  Are you watching your stats? You could be a winner.

The biggest benefit from daily surfing, is that your advertisements reach a larger market of viewers. Now that is where higher conversion rates can take place.

Run some tests on what you have learned here. Keep a few records consistently and see exactly how you can benefit from your surfing.

Boring? Not on your life! It is all about successful advertising so spend your surfing time learning what you can.

Post a comment on your testing to this blog and let’s see if there are not a few more credits sent to your account.

SEE the banner and splash page advertising re the sitebuilder?  It is FREE and easy to use to test. Take a look and see what you can do.  Amazing when it is this easy.

You Need Plugins To View This Page

Friday, October 28th, 2011

When I am surfing and the message across the top tells me I need two plugins to view the media on this page, I smile.  I do not need to hear screeching media on a page in a Traffic Exchange.

The medium is the message you know, and the medium for your darned loud,  distracting,  ear-splitting videos is on your web page!

Here’s the thing I wonder about.

Are you afraid your glorious web site will not attract enough visitors?  Maybe you need to be working on that issue before this next possibility?  Do you think that exposure to a larger audience, like TE viewers will give you a better chance to gain conversions?

Gotta ask. Duh! What makes you think the average 10 second view will even get the shell-shocked viewer with ears on to the message? Your choice of music kills more than 10 seconds.

Big mistake huh?

That click is darned near as good as a delete button!  Now the  next time your site comes up – wahmmo!!! Tons of noise complaints will go in and you are history.

Nice conversion tactic huh?  Try your website. It might give the viewer half a chance to turn on the sound if they want to hear the message, check you out and  darn, they might sign up.

Hello Have We Met

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

If you were doing cold calling in an MLM program, I could readily understand your reticence.  It can be frustrating, and certainly no fun to have someone slam down the receiver in your ear.  Ask ‘Who? How do I know you?’ or out or always in the shower when you call?

It’s like being the uninvited guest at a dinner party.

BUT you are NOT doing cold calling in our programs, You are simply using email to make a warm connection with a new prospect. You can. It is more efficient but if it bothers you then TIMELY email is the next best action.

So why is it like pulling teeth to get people who want to make  an income online to connect with the very people who will help them create that opportunity?

Some marketers do not even send a welcome mail, leaving that action  to the company as being enough.  It’s important to tell them who you are; that you are happy they want to join you.

You have a common grounds to discuss – the program they signed up to join.  Some people will join anything and everything they see. Others are attracted and take the initial action but never follow through.  Then there is the diamond who said ‘hey, you don’t care to connect, I don’t care to be a part of what you are doing.’

The LCP or splash pages attracting new prospects may be company pages. So there is an important missing step between that intial action and relating to you as their sponsor.

It should come as no surprise that prospects need to feel safe in  taking that final step to confirm. Thus The most important personal thing your personal mail will do is give them a reason to hit that confirmation link.

Hocus Pocus Focus

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Gremlins at work? No, just too much focus. Is there such a thing? You be the judge.

I was doing Admin work. Notifying one gentleman that according to our TOS, his blog had to be in English. Since it was not, I had to refuse it.

I got to where it was time to do the send. That was when my focus hailed the interrupt and instead of entering his user ID I hit the send.  198 members got a copy.

If he does not read his mail, then if his sponsor was one of the receivers, I am sure they will give him a heads up.  For the rest of the receivers, there is a major tip within the admin mail send.

The TOS is clear. Your web pages MUST be in English. So,  I know your people did not get this mail.  Think the TOS/English point might be worth sharing with them?

Affiliate Marketing Quicksand Offers

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

In reality, you aren’t likely to set up your business one day and rake in untold thousands the next. In spite of what hucksters promise, it just cannot be done. (If you have an inside track on a proven method, then do let me know.)

If you are reading their sales copy correctly, and not blinded by dollar signs, then you read – “…built a business up to a mailing list of 18,295 subscribers in a little over a year.”

That sound like overnight?

What it sounds like to me is, it takes WORK – and anyone who tells you it doesn’t, is misleading you.

It also yells loud and clear that you need a mailing list.  NOT a bought mailing list either.  YOUR own contact mailing list that you are continually working to build.

Looks like that can take a good year too in order to build a fair amount of subscribers.  It is not the size aka number of subscribers on any given list but the targeted smaller amounts of potential customers searching for something specific that you might just have.

Seems the question is, if you keep on doing what you are doing right now – buying into every short form money-grab, will you ever make any money?

It took me a long time to learn to say NO and mean it. IF I could put all the money I have wasted on programs like this over the years, together in a pot, I could probably take that Mediterranean Cruise I have been planning for and have a ton of cash left over.

When I finally settled down and began working with both MoneyLegs [still here and going strong] and SEO Squid – [now ViralHost with a ton more income opportunities within the membership levels] I began to bring in some pretty steady as well as healthy checks.

The key to building these opportunities was advertising. NOT in Traffic Exchanges, FFA, safelists and PPC places but right on my site. I learned to develop a Web site.  Understanding why I needed one, made the difference. Then those tools could help send the traffic to what I wanted to promote.

Oh it is still and always will be a work in progress but believe me when I say I it is a profitable work in progress.

I like organizing time and creating income so Traffic Exchanges like 10khits4unow, 21stCenturySurf and Clickaholics, have led the list in how to build my lists, good relationships and a solid business foundation.

It takes all of the above tools and a few more like a self-automating auto- responder to  make life a lot easier while I learn to market forward in what I have learned about income creation.

I personally know tons of people who were determined to spend hard earned money month after month for years, until they finally gave up.

It should not have to be just one of those things you must endure because you’re trying to build a business, keep that dream alive, and reach your goal of making money from the Internet.

Just imagine for one moment, how much quicker those things could happen if you had access to all the tools I have mentioned and more, that would help you build your business faster and easier so you could realize the true path to success?

And no, it does not have to take a year to realize income, but it will take work and  it will not happen over night.

The main tool you need comes from you – personal drive and dedication to just do what it takes till it is done.

With the help and support of our trainers and owners, you can have the dream on solid ground. Now come let us show you the rest of the steps.

To Surf Those Traffic Exchanges Or Not To Surf

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

To surf or not to surf  seems to be the question when you check your downlines and find 95% of them are on a busman’s holiday [spends  time doing the same activities as do for a living].

Part of the lessons of surfing include the best days to release credits for the  larger return of conversions.  That day or days differs per person per Traffic Exchange and for many a good reason.

Quality measurements  …

  • membership totals – small, medium, large
  • membership responsiveness
  • gamers or marketers
  • manual or hover surf or autosurf
  • how often you surf it – consistency
  • time of day credit releases
  • how many campaigns you promote
  • free or upgraded membership
  • style of campaign -direct or list building
  • company page promoted
  • LCP [squeeze] or splash page

… and a lot more actions that need to be measured for  providing you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision, to surf a particular Traffic Exchange or not to surf it.

One of the value ways you can surf to test, though it is not exactly accurate, is to surf our contests.  One of the specifics I can attest to, is that consistent surfing of all three, bring me in an average of six members per Traffic Exchange per week.

That figure is no more accurate than any other form of measurement as results can vary, based on even more actions or lack of them, by membership, and me, of course.

The bottom line is that you have very little chance of building that all important downline if you choose to sit back and do nothing.  It is the consistent surfer who wins contests. It is the consistent surfer who gains trust. It is the consistent surfer who brings home the income. Because they consistently surf, they know the  people they promote to and those people know them.

21stCenturySurf Profitably Built For You

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

21stCentury Surf is THE No. 1 Place to be for Targeted Traffic, Lead Generation, List Building and Cash Creation.  It is second only to 10khits4unow. As the younger Traffic Exchange sister, it is slowly building in value you need to know about.

For instance, 21stcenturysurf.com has the estimated value of $6076 and ranks #474768 in the World (Alexa). [July 22, 2010]

Both the dollar value and the Alexa ranking come about because of you the user.  Terms like ‘affiliate’ take on a stronger meaning when you understand how Traffic Exhanges [TEs] actually work.

In order for you to capitalize on your membership in 21stCenturySurf, it will be necessary for you to advertise it every where and every chance you get.  Not just in other TEs but in classified ads and text ads, or text links or banners or forums or in simply all of them. ALL of these ways will increase interest and traffic that should mean sign ups for you.

Next, make this action viral by advertising your other URLs in 21stCenturySurf.  If you want to really leverage this action, then talk to your sponsor about ProTrafficFunnel. Tests we have run using ProTrafficFunnel exactly as it is explained have brought us as high as 76% in conversion rates.

Come to your choice of our many conferences and meet our newest success story. This lady took her small business, leveraged it using ProTrafficFunnel into a very nice monthly income.  The next success story could be you.

Currently, we are into teaching you how to build your contact list. Yours, not the company list of subscribers you may currently have.  You need them too as downline building is the fastest and most profitable way to be able to use your time to create online income.

This is  a very exciting time to be a subscriber in our many family programs. Each of them provides a single step in forming a solid foundation on which you can build any business of your choice.

Traffic & Leads Generation Part III

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Nurture leads who are not Sales Ready

When you have to write your own sales and marketing materials, you learn a lot about what it takes to generate a steady stream of leads.

No matter how good you become, you will find that only 5 to 15 percent of all generated leads are actually ready and willing to talk to you about your product.

Think about that long list of inactives you have earned working with us. Was it the program, you, or simply wrong timing for them that has kept them inactive or incommunicado for so long?

“My password denies me access so I do not want to belong. Please unsubscribe me?”  Wow, their error, and they no longer want to belong.   Two things stand out here – lack of accountability and not ready to belong.  The second one, not ready to belong is the correct one. The lack of desired action was simply the excuse to bow out.

By the time a program owner gets this request, the only action is to unsubscribe them.  Could it have been prevented? Maybe.

IF the sponsor had an automated series of mails ready for this lead to accept and educate them on what to do when they first joined, maybe.

However, what you will learn if you are ready with an auto-responder of mails is how surprised you may be to find the other 90% ready to buy from you 3, 6, or even two years later – as long as you stay in touch with them.

I have experienced two people long thought dead and buried to become active, and a few very good ones who connected to find out simply what and who they joined because of lost records.

All of these actions more than two years AFTER initial contact.  The secret was, I did not judge, I simply stayed in contact.

Lead Nururing Works!

By staying in touch, in a non-threatening way, you might just become the first person they think of when they are ready to take any action, from joining to buying your products or services.

Understanding that as few as 5% – to 15% max are actively looking for or considering what you have to offer, keeps your mindset balanced to knowing marketing is NOT a numbers game.  It is a game of patience and persistence that will allow half of the other 85 to 95% of leads to buy from you or your competition over the next 24 months.  They WILL buy as long as your continued communications are non-threatening.

Wouldn’t you rather it was from you?

Sellers Boldly Look for Better Results

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

I am so glad you to hear you say you do not like to sell.  If a lot of other online marketers would openly admit they are not good salespeople either, maybe the success ratio  of these marketers would go up instead of steadily down.

Why?

If you chose a good program, then there is nada for you to sell.  The site should do all the selling with an intriguing layout, exciting copy and imagery that builds that copy.

What you have instead is the opportunity to present the benefits of using his program to the right market who are looking for it.

And the best way to do this is to tell your market what it has done for you.  What attracted you to the program/opportunity and why you have stuck with it and of course, with what results.

If you are not familiar with upsells or product reviews, then make it a point to Google the top ten and go do some reading.  Then take it the next step and attend a conference and discuss your findings with the other attendees.  Nothing beats a healthy brainstorming session on ideas.  The best ones take shape when shared.

Checklists From Hell

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

We are into creating check lists in our list building training. It is an important part of your online actions whether it is keeping track of your time, listing the steps to product creation, business building or …

one more list. It may not quite be considered a checklist in itself but it is a
very important list nevertheless.

It is your contact list.  No not your personal one, but those lists of names that gather on skype, yahoo, msn,  or any other chat line. You might want to add all those names of followers on linkedin, facebook, myspace and twitter just to name a few more.  I call this check list the checklist from hell.

Let’s get one thing straight.  These are NOT your personal contact list that has given you permission to mail them about any business proposition.

The names list will get pretty long and unruly before you  know it. People you met yesteryear, that you chatted with, did business of some sort with, helped, shared with because others asked to you add them or they asked themselves.

Who are they? What do you know about them? Got a clue as to their likes and dislikes? Are they chattie types or family or perhaps members of groups or programs you have joined?

Prioritize the check list from hell

Three separate lists need to be created.

  • permission contact list
  • refine previous business actions list
  • you helped them list

Family and friends only lists can also be created and set aside. Right now they are of the least importance until you are so in control of your actions they beg to be included.

Next, create a Master Contact Folder with a notepad file on each person in
their respective list. When that is done, it is time to connect with each person on each of your lists and build a profile on each one.

Each of these people are gold because you have already established the
relationship line with each one.  All you have to do is refresh your memories of how and why and this time record it AND keep in touch.

A lot of work? Perhaps.  It depends on how laisez-faire you have been with
your contacts.  Is it worth doing this all this work? Again Depends.  Every 300 people categorized has a potential $2,000 monthly income to you.

It also depends on your integrity.  Your business sense and skills in order to connect and rebuild that initial relationship.

You could join our  list building classes by attending a Thursday night session where you can learn all about building your own personal contact list.  From there, we move you right into the 3-Step Simple Strategy sessions that help you make it happen.

Interested? Check the scheduler link below for the time and see you there.
